Additional Utility for @splinterlands Through SplinterForge (3rd Party Game) | Making My First Investment in SplinterForge

avatar

Decentralization offers more than mere resilience. I wrote and article on why we need multiple login support for DAPPs. If there are multiple options, failure of one party does not hold back the system. What if we could do better? What about a system that becomes stronger under pressure! HIVE is an excellent real world example for this. STEEM was "attacked". A hostile takeover could be a better way to explain it. The community responded and we now have HIVE stronger than STEEM in every single metric one could reasonably care about. HIVE has better technology, larger marketcap and more active users and vastly more DAPPs including the DAPP with the most Daily Active Users (@splinterlands)

Many Games | One NFT | Multiple Parties

The main draw for SplinterForge in the eyes of most users is "Use your existing Splinterlands cards to play a whole different way!" claim that is function like an airdrop without an airdrop!

There is a new investment to be made here just as there is a new investment to be made with Genesis League Goals Packs. Those who are already invested in to SPS staking get an airdrop of GLX that works both as an incentive to promote and contribute to the ecosystem + act as a marketing tool for both projects.

Imagine a scenario where SplinterForge airdropped NFTs or Tokens to those who already own @splinterlands Cards. It creates the same dynamics as described above. It also creates more complexity in the market with more NFTs to manage. Decentralization solves this through better efficiently.

The Company Does Not Own The Assets | User Ownership

What you see above are private property (with few exceptions: CREDITS, Potions, Merits). The company that brought these assets into existence do not own them just as The Pokémon Company does not own the Cards that you bought from them. Technically you could do whatever you want with those cards including making up your own rules and custom games.

It is this private ownership that help to usher in antifragility to Web 3 gaming. The first upgrade was the company being unable to shut down your account and confiscate your assets. This alone is a great selling point for decentralized games. As times goes on, it becomes possible for 3rd parties to make up their own games for @splinterlands Cards. Players can join in as them wish. The Cards are on a blockchain. The players can use their property as they wish. If they couldn't it won't be their property!

A Small Investment With FORGE

After some calculations, I figured out that buying Alpha Packs using FORGE was the best way forward. There are the familiar Airdrops for those who buy from the source instead of the secondary markets.

The service I am using here is @uswap It is the cheapest bridge to transfer HIVE to HIVE-Engine and vice versa. My target is buying 4 Alpha Packs. The Presale is not happening very fast. I can take this slow. It is not like I have much dry powder for large purchases either. 2022 was a very difficult year especially because I tried my best to buy during the fear is extremely high. These are the times to build wealth.

The Presale is now live with most of the Packs unsold. This does remind me of the times with @splinterlands where Presales were not gone in a matter of seconds. I make no guarantees on how successful SplinterForge itself will be and I am only making a small investment to try out the project and show some support to a DAPP that is going to increase the utility for Cards that I already own.

The Alpha Crates are now sitting on the inventory until the launch of the game. Those who received Beta access did have good things to say about the game. That is not enough to sustain a large player base and a strong economy. SplinterForge will have to keep innovating and improving like the team that launched @splinterlands

Having more games like this based on the existing Cards will mean the assets themselves will retain value even if something happened to the company registered in USA. I wish nothing bad to happen. In case it does, the value of Cards will still survive. You can't do that with Web 2 games!

Happy Investing!

Yeah you are absolutely right hive is better than steem. Worked on steemit earlier too but I left it and started doing it on hive because hive is strong, trusted and secure platform. At this time the most users are from Sprinterland as compared to other play to earn games. Incoming bull market sprinterland game become more popular over all the world.
